Fedora :

Fedora is a set of projects sponsored by Red Hat and guided by the Fedora Foundation. These projects are developed by a large community of people who strive to provide and maintain the very best in free, open source software and standards. Fedora Core, the central Fedora project, is an operating system and platform based on Linux which is always free for anyone to use, modify, and distribute, now and forever.

Live CD :

This supplement of Fedora Live CD is created by Kadischi. Live CD is a tool that enables users to run an Operating system and/or application directly from CD or any external media without being it installed on the harddisk. This is also a good tool to evaluate any software product as well as to use it for demonstration.

Fedora Core

Fedora Core is the heart of the Fedora distribution. This project maintains the packages that make up Fedora systems.

Fedora Extras Project

The Fedora Extras project provides thousands of high-quality software packages to extend the software available in Fedora Core. Experienced software packagers review every package accepted into Fedora Extras. Extras repositories are enabled by default as of Fedora Core 4, so packagers for Fedora Extras have a potential audience of hundreds of thousands of users.

All software packagers are welcome to participate in the Fedora Extras Project.

Fedora Documentation Project

The goal of the  Fedora Documentation Project is to create easy-to-follow, task-based documentation for Fedora Core users and developers. Other than the Installation Guide, each document is in article format, with one article per topic. This way, writers can contribute documentation about a specific topic without having to worry about how it fits into a manual or how it flows with other topics. Since the documents are for the Fedora Project, they only need to describe how to perform tasks with Fedora Core.

Fedora Translation Project

The goal of the Fedora Translation Project is to translate all software and documentation associated with the Fedora Project into every language. Currently, Fedora is translated into over 20 languages, but help is always needed.

Fedora Ambassadors Project

Fedora Ambassadors are enthusiasts who spread the word about Fedora, Linux, and free/libre open source software (FLOSS) to the wider public. Ambassadors represent Fedora at events worldwide, and also act as Fedora experts in their own communities. The Fedora Project supports Ambassadors with business cards, trade show kits, presentation materials, collaboration with other Ambassadors, and other resources.
